Thanks for the replies yall.
And
boob.. tried what you were talking about, and ended up working for free as it was so much fun..
That and no one would pay
I think Il just take my time with the decision and knock of all the theory first..That was always the deal I made with myself so I may as well stick to it....
Id thought of the mines as Im based in WA, but as an unskilled worker I wonder how much is up there for me..(How much work would they have in the mines for a semi retired professional musician?)
Even though I know that Il be pushing sh1t uphill for a few years I absolutely love flying, and for the time being at least, Im happy to wear the pain...Ask me in five years..
Cheers
